For convenience meals this is quite healthy, with pasta made out of lentils instead of grains. It can be found in the frozen section, and can be either cooked in the microwave or on the stove (I cooked on the stove). The sauce comes in small frozen blocks inside the package so you can use half the amount or none at all if you prefer. I tried the spiral noodles with Alfredo sauce, and I have also seen penne noodles with cheddar cheese sauce and plain noodles as well. I followed my usual advice, and made the meal healthier by adding half vegetables, in this case roasted broccoli.

The taste was very good. I have tried several bean-based and lentil-based pastas, all dry, and this was the best by far. The taste was a little doughier then regular dried wheat pasta, but I enjoyed that since it tasted more like homemade pasta.

The nutrition is good, about 240 calories for half the package (a small serving size) + 1/2 head of broccoli roasted in olive oil. I also had a side dish of cauliflower roasted in olive oil, topped with cumin seeds, roasted garlic and fresh ginger.
